Question 1

What is a Gut Knife Emerald pattern and how rare is it?

Accepted Answer

An Emerald Gut Knife is a Doppler knife with a Phase 4 finish, featuring a deep green blade. It's the rarest Doppler phase, appearing on approximately 10% of all Gut Knife Doppler unboxes. This makes it significantly rarer than the standard Phase 1-3 patterns.

Question 2

How much does a Gut Knife Emerald cost in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Factory New Gut Knife Emeralds typically sell for $500-$700. Minimal Wear ranges from $430-$550, while Field-Tested drops to $350-$450. Prices fluctuate based on float value and pattern cleanliness. Check live prices on CSBoard at /en/items/gut-knife-doppler-factory-new?phase=Emerald.

Question 3

Does the pattern index matter on a Gut Knife Emerald?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but less than on Case Hardened skins. The pattern index determines the distribution of dark pixels and the overall 'cleanliness' of the green. Patterns with minimal dark spots and a flawless blade surface command a 10-15% premium over average patterns.

Question 4

Where can I buy a Gut Knife Emerald with no trading fees?

Accepted Answer

CSBoard offers peer-to-peer Gut Knife Emerald trades with zero platform fees. Sellers list directly, and buyers pay only the listed price. You can browse live listings at /en/items/gut-knife-doppler-factory-new?phase=Emerald and pay with USDT for instant delivery.

Question 5

Is the Gut Knife Emerald a good investment in CS2?

Accepted Answer

Emerald Dopplers have shown steady appreciation since the CS2 launch, with Gut Knife variants gaining 15-25% annually. Their lower entry price compared to M9 Bayonet or Karambit Emeralds makes them accessible, and demand remains strong due to the vibrant green finish in CS2's lighting engine.

Question 6

How can I verify a Gut Knife is a real Emerald and not a Phase 3?

Accepted Answer

Inspect the knife in-game or via Steam's inventory view. The item description will explicitly state 'Phase 4' for true Emeralds. Phase 3 patterns can appear greenish but lack the deep, consistent emerald hue. On CSBoard, all Doppler listings are tagged with their correct phase for easy filtering.
